The man who shot JoeMcKnight has been released from custody and no charges have been filed yet … this according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Dept.
54-year-old Ronald Gasser a white male — was questioned and released “sometime overnight” after officials believed they had no reason to hold him any longer.
The Sheriff’s Dept. tells us … Gasser “definitely” shot the ex-NFL running back — but there are “questions about the circumstances surrounding what led up to it.” The rep tells us the investigation is still very much open and the case could go to the grand jury or the district attorney, which will decide whether or not charges should be filed.
